Exalted: Out Of The Eater

Reader mode
[X] The Listeners said that Xauma was an abode of beasts, a place of filth and hunger and depredation. So much of what you've heard is rumors. Forgotten scraps of maybe-truth and whispered propaganda. Ask the man himself: what is Xauma?

Identity.
How they define themselves, what is real and what is myth. Why they are in opposition to Lookshy, whether ideological or realpolitik, and if that may change if Lookshy offers up sufficient inducements.

Critical questions IMO, both to defining Xauma, and to defining Harrower's current place in the world.
He knows so little that wasn't filtered through the prism of Lookshy's faith and ideology.
Time to change that.

[X] There's a war going on. And you- you remember now, Xauma holds ports on both banks of the Yanaze now. And the fighting that night! They pushed the Lookshyan army itself back on its fortifications. Are they winning? Can they win?
 
[X] They spared you. During the battle they were helping you! Even as they saw what you were, what you really were. The truth in its fullness. What do they want with you? Is it just to wield you as a weapon? Are you an ally or a necessary evil?

How much of a life outside of destroying Lookshy our boy has is going to be a thing in this quest.

They're being suspiciously nice to a quasi-undead abomination.

    The creature, the elemental is built long, lean. A sinuous, serpentine tail tipped in serrated spines. A thick ruff of fur wrapping around narrow shoulders, spilling down its chest. A narrow, fox-like snout filled with black-glass teeth. It's face is a kind of mask, all rigid, armored bone curving down in fangs; sweeping back in spikes. Outsized easily by the leaf shaped ears, the flesh turned half-translucent by its thinness.

    Its hands are three-fingered, the joints slender, the razored claws currently pressing into dense muscle almost delicate. But you watch as it flares and refolds its wings and you see the way the fourth extends. Arcing out, bounding the expanse of membrane, framing a pair of smaller spars, spear-like fins on either side.

    A monster done in sleek, glossy blacks, in cherry reds and white-hot char. The mask and fur about its throat ashen grey. The body beneath is solid, dense for all that you swear it goes hazy and instinct, movements trailing tendrils of matter like so many tongues of smoke. Small, fine scales mixed in with the short pelt, gleaming like volcanic mirrors. It stares back with eyes the color of cinders, of caught coal, and ripe orange fruit; politely outraged. Its level blistering scorn fairly fucking impressive for something that you're fairly sure you could cradle in your arms. It gives you a moment, a minute, time to decide that you're not going to keep being ridiculous before it stretches back out, draping itself over you. Half-curling its body around the red stone pendant that sits against your sternum.
